Coxy cup.
For those that don't know, last Saturday was the race between cyc and nusc for the coxy cup. Cyc won in 2013 and nusc in 2014 and 2015.
There was a good turnout from both clubs with 7 boats from nusc, and 9 boats sailing up from cyc to try and win the trophy back.
It was a down tide 50 mile race, choosing your own start time.
On crossbow we decided to leave last due to our handicap. We passed gerwyn on atiqa with a torn genoa who later retired , along with hidden secret and volition. We had a spinnaker run on the way back from steepholm, then a period of heavy rain and wind shifts which caused a few problems, followed by very light wind for those still down channel.
We didn't do too badly, beating meercat by 43". Unfortunately loosing out on corrected time. Gary managed a 7th place with Maxime.
Newport boats came in 3rd. 4th, 5th and 6th place. Giving them 12 points towards the coxy cup. The good news is meercat was 1st and crossbow 2nd, giving cyc 10 points and so we won the coxy cup back for our club. Hooray!
This means we get to host the race next year.
The full results are as follows,
1st. Meercat.
2nd, crossbow.
3rd white satin
4th ceil mor
5th Ghengis Khan
6th J rider
7th Maxime.
8th Hoopoe.
9th lunasea.
10th paladin
11th harlequin
12th xanadu
13th shinroc
14th atiqa
14th hidden secret
14th volition

Hi Neville,
Thanks for the report.
Congratulations to all concerned and good to hear it was well attended - despite the changeable weather conditions.
Well done to the skipper and crews of Meercat & Crossbow.
